Jay mx3's kl-ze drag car project

heres a couple more pics

Have you bought it already? Definitely not the same SC I have anyway which is the Eaton M62 3rd gen I think : A111 090 03 80
I think that's from a c class c200 I think which is a 178hp 2.0l engine. If that's correct, it's probably a bit small to feed a KL. Really a M62 or M90 would suit better. If you're drag racing really you want the m90, but bit tricky squeezing it in. Turbos easier to make power TBH. Unless you get a harrop, rotrex, vortech, procharger. Though I guess it depends on your goals 12s 11s 10s?
EDIT: here's an m62 clutch SC. You'd be wanting to change pulleys most likely for serious power:

-
I'm not sure either, the nuts where the manifold bolt on are a square pattern, where the m62 is more hexagon shape. Could be a m45 off a slk200. not to piss on your bonfire but this would be ok for upto 2lt.
-
thank you for the info marco ive thought about a turbo but the s/c apears to be a bit easyer to fit also after seeing you supuercharger set up it just kinda stuck in my head i want to do that lol
the sc is off a slk 200 luckaly ive only payed a deposit so wont be getting nowim aiming for low 14's well thats the goal
again thanks for your help guys
-
Ha fair enough! 14s with the 1.8 I take it? You could hit low 14s with just a KLZE and bolts ons. The SC would probably be ok for the 1.8 really with some pulley changes.
-
supercharger FTW!!! i would take a s/c over turbo anyday :D
-
Lol the aim is 14s with the ze I was going on that a stock V6 (wes) dose 17
My thought was run a supercharger and a little nos too but not sure how much the stock internals will take but the nos is only a extra thought at the moment
-
It might require hybrding the engine, im sure you could pick up a de for not that much and do it. IIRC the DE has stronger internals.
-
IIRC Yanks have got 13.9 with a ZE plus bolt ons. SC with an m62 and the right size pulleys you should be low 13s with good tyres I'd say. Stock internals will take 300whp+ generally before you need to worry much. If it's tuned I bet you'll break a gearbox before your engine!
DE and ZE rods are equally wussy. DE has lower comp ratio, so has a little more room for error regarding the tune. However ZE will make the same power on less boost. Which is good for SC, as getting high boost requires the right pulley ratios. The only negative IMO of a ZE over DE is the intake valve springs (softer - valve float) and the ZE retainers are known to crack. So swap in DE springs to replace ZE intake springs and you're good to go. Or get interprep springs.

great thanks thats realy useful info thank you marco looks like ive got a bit of work to do "when" the engine gets here lol
-
Well you don't have to, plenty of ZEs survive without that mod! Yep barrywhite that's exactly the fix. Though with you making a drag car I expect you'll be thrashing it bigtime :)
-
lol probably
-
probably take revs upto 6500rpm on each gear change depending on were the power starts to drop off other than that not major thrashing would it be the safest option to change the springs as i will be rebuilding the engine anyway as i think the engine has been in a shed for a year
-
just a quick update the new rear screen is ready to go in once i now how lol
i just put the carbon bonnet on it while it was off and now i realy regret selling it :cry: didnt now how well it would look on it
-
ahh, like the bonnet on :(
-
lol i wish i put it on there before i sold it lol think im going to hae to save up and get another
-
yep, id bulk buy with you but ive got a stack of parts i want before i get to that part. :(
-

yep, id bulk buy with you but ive got a stack of parts i want before i get to that part. :(
me too when i get my rx first thing i got to do is rebuild the engine so i think carbon bonnet will wait for now lol plus this car to finnish
-
I've been waiting to see what the lexan rear screen looks like… wow you guys got some really quality ones! We opted for a much cheaper version since we wanted to "do it ourselves" to save some money... Is that black trim around the edges painted on or chemically bonded or something?
